Poured Concrete Porches

Poured Concrete- the material of choice

In an article published in 2017, a survey found that out of four Southern American states built that year, nearly 90% of them had a porch in the design plan. Many of these porches were constructed of concrete, a favorite material for its durability and customization.

Though wood is a classic choice for most outdoor structures, it has its flaws. Wood, a natural material revered for its beauty and warmth, is subject to rot, pests, and mold among other things. None of the above will directly affect concrete; at least not nearly as quickly. No material is infallible, but concrete will last for a long time and look good with minimal maintenance.

Concrete can be stained and dyed in all manner of colors, patterns, and finishes. If you can dream it, it can be done. The material is durable, easy to clean, and if you decide to leave the concrete bare, you won’t even need to worry about repainting or finishing as you would with a wooden porch.

The value of concrete porch professionals

Many homeowners will turn to cost as a deciding factor, but in most cases, the cost will be relatively close. A professional can help guide the way with details such as zoning laws, building permits, and the nitty-gritty of construction. Most companies even offer design suggestions when the choices become overwhelming. All that, coupled with insurance to handle any hiccups in the process, makes going with the experts an easy choice.
